Kodak Personal Picture Maker 200

May 2001

In a stand-alone mode, the printer did not read any altered images. Kodak recommends printing all edited images, as well as TIFF files, which take longer to process than JPEGs, using a computer connection.

I appreciated the printer's compact design and the color of the printer, which is black not the dreadful "office" beige or grey. The PPM 200 weighs less than 6 pounds without the external power cords, so I had no trouble moving the printer from one location to another.

Lastly, the printer is very quiet. Yup, those small things also matter.

The PPM 200 comes with inkjet cartridges, a Kodak Picture Page software CD and a sample of Premium Picture paper.
